DRodgers, i see what you mean about the crop. I agree, and can thankfully fix it as the original is a looser crop.

Thanks Stranger. Yes the horses were quite petrified, and so didn't take their eyes off me !

I was just thinking it looks 'slanty'. This is partially due to the field 'horizon' being slightly slanted compared to where i was standing, but i do believe it was slightly tilted on top of this ! I really must take more care composing ! :x

I disagree with everyone else. I like that the legs and head are somewhat hidden, to me it adds interest. I think the photo would be somewhat boring if all the hirses were in the open and looking right at you. This is a beutiful B&W conversion. Exposure is perfect and I also don't mind the tight crop but I can see why they mentioned it. GREAT SHOT

Omgosh! I love this so much. It's such a beautiful shot. Gah, horses are so amazing. I think it's wonderful how it is. The only thing, in my opinion, that would've looked better is if the gras son the right was a big shorter. But I like it there.

Lovely shot. The toning and the composition are both perfect, and the rain definitely adds to it.
Do you have the photo in color, though? The surrounding grass and those horses just scream color to me.
